Brio de Cantenac Brown Margaux 2008

34.80 € Tax included

Brio de Cantenac Brown 2008 is a red wine from the Médoc in Bordeaux, in the Margaux appellation, and the second wine of Château Cantenac Brown, 3rd Grand Cru Classé in 1855. It is made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, with vines that are 25 years old on average. The ageing is different from that of the great wine, with only 20% in new barrels.

It is a beautiful Margaux at perfect maturity after 10 years of cellar storage, greedy and concentrated, with all the finesse of the great wines of the appellation.

In the heart of the Margaux appellation vineyards, Château Cantenac Brown stands out from all the others by its unique architecture. At the beginning of the 19th century, when John-Lewis Brown acquired the estate, he chose to build a Tudor-style castle that would remind him of his Scottish origins. The building, one of the most original in the Médoc, is surrounded by a remarkable English-style park. Find the wines of Château Cantenac Brown currently on sale at La Bouteille Dorée.

La Bouteille Dorée also offers a fine selection of wines from 2008.
